<p>
        <span class="emphasis"><em>Binding</em></span> is the act of tying together a function to some
        arguments for deferred (lazy) evaluation. Named <a class="link" href="function.html" title="Function">lazy
        functions</a> require a bit of typing. Unlike (unnamed) lambda expressions,
        we need to write a functor somewhere offline, detached from the call site.
        If you wish to transform a plain function, member function or member variable
        to a lambda expression, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">bind</span></code>
        is your friend.

<tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p>
          Take note that binding functions, member functions or member variables
          is monomorphic. Rather than binding functions, the preferred way is to
          write true generic and polymorphic <a class="link" href="function.html" title="Function">lazy
          functions</a>.
        </p></td></tr>

<p>
        There is a set of overloaded <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">bind</span></code>
        template functions. Each <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">bind</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">x</span><span class="special">)</span></code>
        function generates a suitable binder object.
